Best reed to use for legit playing??

Hi guys, anyone knows which is best for legit playing?
Alexander Superial "DC" reed, Alexander Superial reeds, traditional vandoren reeds or the plastic reeds that came onto the market not long ago(forgot the brand of the reed)??
To my knowledge, the plastic reed can last about 1 year or more and it cost S$30+ while the rest are regular prices for each reed and each of the reeds, u could onli use them for a month or two.. so any comments?? thx loads...

I have been using the Superial "Classique" model, red box, which is designed for classical playing, and having great luck with them on a Morgan mpc. Used to use Vandoren blue box with a Larry Teal. You just need to find the one that matches your mpc and horn.
